Theré can be no use whatever arguing about this miracle. Some will accept the narrative as literal history and believe it without dif- ficulty. Others may believe that it is | of the nature of legend or tradition, | a wonder story that has become at- tached to the life of Jesus jnst as wonder stories have become at- tached to the life of every great leader and teacher of the past. If the significance of Jesus had been simply that he fed five thou- sand people with five barley loaves and two fishes, we should have little occasion for interest in him as a spir- itual leader; that "might mark his wonder working power, but it could not indicate his divinity or his power FE saving people from their sina. | that he brought to men the bread of life. He himself deprecated the depend- ence upon signs and miracles, and he spoke very plainly to those who gought him because of the loaves and fishes and not because bf the living bread that he had to give. This narrative might well symbo- lize the marvelous way ia which Christianity has had its growth and influence. From very small begin- nings it has brought the bread of life to innumerable thousands, and the richness of the provision of grace-is symbolized by the abundance. We are concerned here not with a great magician but with a great Saviour who loved the masses of the people and who looked upon them with compassion, We may not have power to<per- form miracles such as Jesus did, but if we had in our hearts the deep love for our fellowmen that he had, if compassion. moved the souls of all who professed the name of Christ as it moved onr Master in his earthly lite, could we imagine any one in all the world going hungry? There would be bread enough for all, and all would eat and be filled. The Never-Filled. It 18 touching to think of tke vast mass of huménity who never know what it is really to be filled. We are told that there are hordes of people in India, even in the years when there is no famine, who never know what it means to have enough, and one thinks of the children of the Near Bast who, with all the pro- vision that has come in récent years from Christian America, have not had during much of the time more than one meal a day. Here~is where the lesson strikes home to those of us who are well fed and who never know what it means to miss a meal. Instead of much controversy over whether the miracle happened or not would it not be well if we found in consecration to Christ the power to work modern miracles through the application of God's Jaws to human problems? At any rate the lesson and its meaning ure lost for us unless we tind fn Jesus the bread of life and feed upon him in our hearts by faith. tn ttt ti cillors Aylesworth, Freeman and 8ibbit and the county road superin- tendent wére named to atténd the Good Roads Association convention.
